Happy New Year!
2015 started off with the best night's sleep ever...in fact, I think this holiday was created just for mothers of small children. Think about it...
Last night my whole house was up late. Big Boy kept it going until almost eleven and Baby Girl stayed up to kiss Daddy at midnight and went down swinging close to one. Jack and I went down about a half hour later.
For everyone else this was apparently exhausting. My early bird worm eating husband is still out cold and it is 9:30...this is unheard of. Baby Boy is cuddled up next to him and if I try and touch him he growls and swats at me. Baby Girl hasn't made a sound since she went to bed so I had to check to make sure she was still breathing because I was legitimately worried. Yup. Everyone is alive and well...but exhausted, so they slept ALL.NIGHT.LONG.
This mama? This mama is bright eyed and bushy tailed. Despite making questionable late night food choices and drinking not one...not two...but three generous glasses of various red wines after a year of barely remembering where I keep the wine glasses - I slept for EIGHT hours! Eight! Uninterrupted! On a typical night I might get six hours - and that is broken up by crying and cuddles and bedwetting and bottles. Usually a lot of me threatening and begging and cajoling for a solid hour. This night? Total Magic.
I am done with the fifty bedtime routines people swear work...we are having a New Year's party ever night from now on.
I must buy more wine.
